2. OUR MISSION
The Anglican Missions Board enables the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia, in a spirit of partnership, to share in the global dimension of Christ’s mission.

3. Marks of Mission
The Five Marks of Mission are an important statement on mission. They express the Anglican Communion’s common commitment to, and understanding of, God’s holistic and integral mission
Global initiative.
We use them as a framework for all our projects.

4. To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
To teach, baptise and nurture new believers
To respond to human need by loving service
To transform unjust structures of society
To safeguard the integrity of creation, and sustain and renew the life of the earth

6. We work toward these 5 Marks of Mission by:
Mobilising the Church to pray, give, go and tell mission stories Partnering with churches and associated Anglican and other mission agencies Resourcing development projects and emergency response (especially in our region) and mission partnerships

Anglican Church in PNG; Australian Maori Missions outreach; Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East

1.3 billion live on less than US$1.25 a day (extreme poverty).
805 million people do not have enough to eat
22,000 children die each day due to poverty and preventable diseases
121 million children worldwide are not in education
27% of children in developing countries are underweight or stunted
750 million people lack access to clean water
68 million refugees or internally displaced people
346 natural disasters (> 2/3 climate/weather related) affected 89 million
Approximately 215 million Christians experienced ‘high, very high, or extreme’ persecution in 2017

15. Churches are called to reach out to the community ‘proclaiming and demonstrating the gospel’. This is true at all times but particularly so when communities are in crisis. There is a need to demonstrate the love of Christ in practical ways and to offer spiritual support to those traumatised by a disaster.

Why are we having a session on this this afternoon – when we could be outside enjoying the sunshine. First there is the Christian imperative to get out there and help

16. “We were here before the disaster, we were here during the disaster and we are here after the disaster. Agencies likes yours will come and go, but the church will always be here”

18. Our vision is to draw on God’s love to enhance resilience to climate change and natural disasters.
The Strategy will help guide the Anglican Church in strengthening resilience and builds on the many good initiatives already taking place. It also acknowledges that we are called to be responsible stewards in caring for God’s creation and that we hold the wellbeing of the planet in our hands.

Climate change initiatives (Polynesia); small-scale vegetable production for Melanesian Sisters; provide water

20. PRESERVE
